The weather was very good. The sun was not scorching, it was a cloudy day. When one looked up at the sky, one could only vaguely see the sun hidden in the clouds.
A cool breeze blew by, and it was somewhat refreshing. It did not have the stuffy feeling before the storm. However, in a stand alone villa in the Tanshan Villa area, the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy—
“What did you say? Tell me again! Who got married? Who? ”
Song Siting, who was travel-worn, stared with wide eyes at Dongfang Gan, who was standing by the railing and drinking a cup of water. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief!
Dongfang Gan drank a mouthful of water and sighed helplessly in his heart. He replied in a low voice, “It’s our daughter, Liuyun. She’s married. It was less than half a month ago. I’ve already told you the general news. The person she’s married to will be here soon. Although we can’t really say how we feel about this marriage, I still hope that you’ll be more polite to her later. After all, our daughter is married to him. We also need to take Liuyun into consideration. You’re too straightforward, if you have a little patience, it will make the child feel better.”
“That’s enough! Impossible! I don’t believe it! Marriage is such a big thing, yet she didn’t even tell her family. What does she mean by that? Does she still care about us as her parents? She’s angry with me, provoking me! She’s dissatisfied with me!” Song Siting said in a flustered and exasperated manner.
“Calm down! Based on your temper, even if Liuyun has any thoughts, she wouldn’t dare to tell you! Ah Ting, our child has grown up, we can’t worry too much about her. We just let them do as they please and don’t have to care too much. I’m really worried about what happened this time. She hid this from us first as a way to deal with us. ”
Dongfang Gan was also a little worried about this matter.
“I don’t care. When can she change her stubborn personality? Fujiwara was already very good to begin with. How many years has he been in love with her? He was so good to her and had a good family background. Why didn’t she marry him? Her grandmother and I both like Fujiwara. Moreover, it was most suitable for her to marry Fujiwara. Has she gone crazy?”
Song Siting clenched her fists. She was so angry that her face turned pale.
“Enough. You don’t have to keep bringing up Fujiwara. You know that this name is a taboo with Liuyun. Aren’t you intentionally making the child feel bad?”
“Why would she feel bad? She just can’t get over Lan Qi, right? At that time, who wouldn’t choose to do that? Who did she think she was? She was running away. I absolutely wouldn’t allow her to run away like a coward! She would understand that what I said wasn’t wrong. Fujiwara was the one who truly loved her with his life. Her deep hatred for Fujiwara could only prove the depth of her feelings for him back then!”
Song Siting’s tone was filled with determination. Her tone actually rendered Dongfang Gan speechless.
“That only represent explains yourself. We’ve never been able to understand Liuyun’s thoughts. Those matters of the heart may not be that important to her anymore. Besides, the brothers Lan Qi and the Lan Xiu have been with her since they were young. It’s not something that can be easily erased. We might not even understand those things…”
“You don’t have to speak up for her. I won’t agree to this matter anyway. I definitely won’t agree. She can only marry Fujiwara. I trust that he will treat Liuyun well.”
“I think Lan Xiu isn’t bad either, should I force my daughter to marry him as well? Ah Ting, I advise us to stay out of this matter. Even if we don’t agree, we can’t just lose all decorum and discuss this with Liuyun. I’ve already gotten someone to investigate…,” Dongfang Gan said worriedly.
“I feel like exploding just thinking about this matter. I won’t agree to it. I’m afraid you won’t be satisfied either, right? No matter what, we have to make her cancel this marriage! So what if they’ve registered it? As long as she’s still alive, she can be free of it!”
As Song Siting spoke, she took a deep breath and suppressed the tiredness in her eyes. She turned around and returned to the living room. She sat down on the sofa listlessly.
Dongfang Gan’s face darkened. He could only sigh and turn around worriedly before returning to the living room.
…
On the road that led to the Tanshan Villa District.
The driver was Dongfang Liuyun. Qi Lei was sitting in the passenger seat. The car was naturally filled with rhythmic music. Dongfang Liuyun turned to look at him when she felt the silence in the car, he realized that this guy was leisurely tapping his knees along to the rhythm of the music.
“You seem quite at ease, aren’t you even a little nervous?” She raised her eyebrows and asked calmly.
“Do I have to tell you if I’m nervous? If I were nervous, would your parents accept me then?”
Qi Lei stopped and answered, “Can you turn the car around now and let me go back?”
“No.”
Dongfang Liuyun answered honestly, “I can only ask my father not to make things too difficult for you, but Ms. Song is a difficult person to communicate with. As long as you don’t care about her attitude, we’ll be fine.”
“Does this mean that you’ll marry me no matter what? For me, you can…”
“I, Dongfang Liuyun, am not someone who values lovers that much. Besides—”
At this point, Dongfang Liuyun shot him a meaningful glance. There was a hint of mockery in her tone, “It’s not difficult to get my hands on you… You’re blushing now, President Qi.”
Her light teasings almost ignited the spark that Qi Lei was suppressing in his chest. The scene from last night flashed through his mind again!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. He glanced at her indifferently, “I couldn’t tell that you had the potential to be a female hooligan.”
“I have a lot of potential. You’ll need a long time to get used to it.”
Dongfang Liuyun replied as she sped up the car, “Don’t worry. My relationship with them is a little tense anyway. If I don’t win their favor, you don’t have to worry about anything. Respect is mutual. Although we’re juniors, it’s fine as long as we have a clear conscience.”
Dongfang Liuyun didn’t seem to care. In fact, she could already foresee the situation when they returned.
At this point, the two of them suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he continued—
“Your parents… maybe they just…”
“Just care about me in their own way?”
Before he could finish, she had already cut him off, “I know you want to say this, and I also know that they care about me. I just don’t like their way. From a moral point of view, I still respect them, but that doesn’t mean that I have to listen to everything they say. If it’s useful, I’ll take it to heart. If it’s useless, if it doesn’t suit me, I won’t accept it, even if it’s unpleasant.”
Her voice fell, the car also slowly drove into the Tanshan Villa area…
